Lawyers says iPod maximum volume update not enough
Apple’s actions did not speak louder than their iPod.
This is according to the attorneys involved in a class-action lawsuit over iPod hearing loss regarding the company’s latest efforts by introducing a feature that will set limits to their unit’s volume levels. Based on the released statement, they still “laud[s] AppleÂ’s decision to provide a way to limit the volume of the popular iPod devices”, however, “the companyÂ’s actions fall far short.”
Steve Berman, an attorney for the plaintiffs, acknowledges the efforts of Apple, saying that it is a sign that the company is finally admitting that there is a serious flaw with its famous product. Still, he is worried about those who owns older models — the ones that are more prone to the hearing hazards the device allegedly poses. He demands that the company do more by providing consumers the proper education regarding safety-related usage.
“We contend that Apple has done next to nothing to inform consumers regarding these issues,” Berman concluded.
